Just to put things in perspective, say about 120 years ago boys started an apprenticeship to learn the shaving skills taught by their fathers and they had months and months to learn all they needed to learn. These days we don't have someone at hand to teach, its either on your own or via a site like this and folks these days have no patience. They want it now.
Eventually everyone learned because it was the only way. These days we have choices and if you choose to use a straight the learning curve has not changed since the early days.
I got to agree, I am only on my 10th shave and this website is the font of eternal wisdom when it comes down to SR shaving. Today I cut myself up a bit and made my self very sore and red and the first thought that crossed my mind was "Lets ask Dad where im going wrong" and sadly Dad enjoys his Cartrige razor and couldnt help me. Whenfind myself going wrong with my razor I often think how great it would be to have a Grandfather and Father around to help and advise me but they are children of the times and I rely soley on Straight razor place for my info.
